Chapter 99 Photos

After speaking with Bai Tianzhe, Liu Yan set her phone down with rage, feeling that this person truly didn’t have the basic essence of a human being.

Continuously harassing someone to sell insurance was already shameless enough, but even after she declined, this person had the nerve to threaten her!

Recalling the picture sent via MMS, the one where a big red X was stained on top of her head, Liu Yan was furious.

She indignantly cursed out a few words before seeing Bai Yan turn his head in her direction. She immediately stopped her mouth, worried that it would scare the child.

“Oh, I really. How could I get mad at someone in front of a child?”

Liu Yan criticized herself, and before she could teach Bai Yan not to learn from her, her phone rang.

Liu Yan opened her phone, and it was another MMS.

“MMS… This couldn’t also be that same insurance agent, right?”

Now looking at this photo again, she was in an extremely bad mood, so much so that she also wanted to swear.

“I’m going to die from anger, it’s that insurance agent again sending me a harassing message!”

“What? He’s still bothering you?”

Hearing Liu Yan’s words, Bai Tianzhe felt that this matter was turning a bit serious.

He took Liu Yan’s phone and took a look at both photos.

After examining them, he also said with a hint of anger, “What kind of person is this! This already isn’t your normal way to sell. Moreover, this is clearly threatening by intimidation!”

“Right, he sent MMSs to threaten me, and this is evidence! We can use this to file a lawsuit against him and let him rot in prison!”

“We need to report this to the police… Let’s go.” Liu Yan was originally still seething with anger, but hearing the word ‘police,’ instead, she urged, “He didn’t use a real knife to intimidate me, only sending these disgusting photos. Even if you tell them this and with also the police involved, at best, the person will only be held in the police station for two days. After the two days, he’ll be set free, so what’s the use of that?

Moreover, if I really am going to file a lawsuit against him, wouldn’t I be committing an offense towards him?

Think about it, I’ve only declined him on the phone, then he sent me these disgusting pictures. If we want him to rot in the station this time, then he would definitely hate us even more. When that time comes, we won’t know what’ll happen next!”

“Then, should we just let him off?” Bai Tianzhe was disinclined to do this.

However, he also knew that his wife was timid. If he did report this to the police, his wife would surely be scared and on edge, suspecting everyone for the following days. In this case, Bai Tianzhe suppressed his unhappy emotions, saying in his heart that if this person would dare to disturb them again, then he’d make sure to humiliate him.

Bai Tianzhe was thinking this, while Liu Yan took her phone back, looking at her phone in a daze.

After blankly staring at it for a while, she suddenly said, “This isn’t right, there’s something amiss in this photo!”

“What is it?” Bai Tianzhe immediately asked.

“Look here, this photo has a small black spot, right on the mountain faraway. That’s odd, I remember that when we originally took this photo, a clean picture was taken…” Liu Yan did her best to remember, saying, “Furthermore, he also didn’t say anything when sending this MMS and just sent an ordinary photo. What do you think he’s trying to achieve by going through all this trouble?”

“It’s to scare us and urge us to buy his insurance from getting too intimidated. What else could it be?” Bai Tianzhe said with disdain.

While he was talking, Liu Yan’s phone let out another ring.

Liu Yan lowered her head to look at her phone, and another new MMS message appeared on her phone just now.

Liu Yan opened the MMS, and inside was still a picture of her and her four other colleagues during a trip.

However, in this new photo, the small black spot on the background seemed to have grown bigger, as though it was drawing nearer to them.

It’s as if… This small black dot went down the mountain and was intentionally getting closer to them.

An idea suddenly flashed through Liu Yan’s heart, but it was only an idea. She then shook her head and cast off the ominous thought.

At this moment, Bai Tianzhe was beside her and looking at the picture as well.

Liu Yan saw the photo and couldn’t help but say, “What is this small black dot? Could it be… that?”

Liu Yan didn’t want to think of trouble, but these photos were actually quite bizarre.

Everyone knew that ‘Forbidden Districts’(1) existed and also knew that the tricks performed in ‘Forbidden Districts’ were extremely terrifying.

1. She’s referring to ghosts and other supernatural things here.

With the thought that this photo was possibly sent by a ghost, Liu Yan began to shiver from fear, feeling terrified from head to toe.

“Yan Zi, don’t overthink this. How could a bored ghost call us to sell insurance? How could there possibly be a bored ghost?”

Liu Yan was scared, and Bai Tianzhe didn’t even try to avoid the taboo topic, casually saying, “Calm down, I bet this photo was just manipulated by a photo-editing software. Currently, these softwares aren’t commonly used by the country, but there are people who deliberately alter photos to swindle others!”

“…If this is really about selling insurance, then why would he send us an MMS?” Liu Yan mumbled.

Bai Tianzhe was left speechless by his wife’s words, also feeling a bit horrified himself.

But, he quickly calmed down and soothed his wife’s flights of fantasy, “I bet he hasn’t sold any insurance packages these past few days, and with an angry and determined heart, he became a psycho. How could it be coincidental for a ghost to be trapped in that ‘Special District’ and come find us for some trouble…”

Bai Tianzhe wasn’t done talking when Liu Yan’s phone once again rang.

This time, her phone rang several times.

Liu Yan opened it and discovered that there were several MMSs.

In the MMS, the black spot in the photo grew bigger and bigger and was also becoming more distinct.

After Liu Yan browsed through all the photos, she could already see that the black spots on the photos were forming a person!

In other words, he could be a ghost!

“It’s over… We’re done for!”

Seeing a person’s silhouette, Liu Yan’s eyes seemed to have lost their spirits as she nervously bit her lip, saying, “Tianzhe, we need to run away with the child! Let’s run far away!”

Just as she finished speaking, she instantly contradicted herself, “No, we can’t escape… People who are targeted by that will all die.. Will all die…”

Seeing his wife falling apart in front of his eyes, Bai Tianzhe’s heart was extremely uncomfortable.

He took out the photo details and looked over them closely.

The unclear dark figure was approaching his wife in the photo.

After looking at the series of photos, Bai Tianzhe also couldn’t help but begin to be skeptical. ‘When the black figure finally reached his wife inside the picture, what would happen to the real her?’

‘Was a ghost really attentively watching their family?’

‘Just because Liu Yan refused to buy wretched insurance?’

Bai Tianzhe didn’t dare believe this nor did he know what to do.

Everyone knew that people can’t handle ghosts, it was impossible to flee from a ghost’s grasp.

If ghosts were easily dealt with, then the country wouldn’t have established the ‘Special District’ to surround these ghosts. Every year, a few unfortunate souls were dragged out to entertain the ghosts and to not let them escape the ‘Special District’ and cause harm to regular civilians.

But even though it was like this, there were undiscovered ghosts still roaming around society.

If they were truly being eyed by a ghost… Then, they were only waiting for death.

Bai Tianzhe’s heart was on tenterhooks, influenced by his wife’s state of mind, and also began to feel a bit frightened.

What could he do about the ghost inside the picture? Should he delete the photo? But, the ghost would just as easily send them a new one.

How about throwing the phone away? If the phone was broken, then they wouldn’t be able to receive this kind of terrifying MMS.

But, it was clear in Bai Tianzhe’s heart, that all of these were useless. Would pretending to not have received the MMS be enough to escape the ghost’s wrath?

Bai Tianzhe sat paralyzed on the sofa, feeling his entire person losing strength.

The couple was left flabbergasted, simultaneously sinking into anxiety and fear.

No one knew when, but Bai Yan, who was sitting quietly in the nook, walked over.

Under the two’s gaze, Bai Yan moved closer to the front of the phone, and when he picked the item up, it began to ring again.

“MMS! There’s a new MMS!”

Liu Yan’s rational mind was finally reinstated a bit, feeling that a child shouldn’t see such filthy things no matter what.

As a result, she exposed a smile with great difficulty, saying to Bai Yan with the greatest state of mind she could muster, “Yanyan, don’t look at the phone. Give it to me… Give the phone back to aunty, alright?”

Although she was anxious, Liu Yan’s voice still exuded warmth. Unfortunately, she said this too late, and when Bai Yan had the phone, he quickly opened the MMS.

Looking at the degree of proficiency of how the boy navigated the keys, it didn’t seem like it was his first time using a phone as though he was already accustomed to it.

However, this boy had that kind of mother. He, himself, was still six years old, so where on earth could he have learned to use a phone?

Liu Yan felt that there was something fishy about this, but the mysterious shadow in the picture was bothering her, leaving her mind to be too preoccupied at the moment.

Liu Yan was a gentle person, but under the terror of life and death, her psyche was on the verge of collapse, unable to maintain her usual personality anymore.

Seeing the boy not moving after looking at the phone, she gradually lost her patience and snatched the phone back without prior notice, taking a look at the screen.

As a result of looking, it made her feel a chill run down her spine, her head also starting to feel dizziness——

In the photo, the human figure finally reached the oriental flower tree, walking beside her.

In the small crack between her and one of her colleagues, a person was inserted, it was exactly the black figure from before.

The black figure’s real form was a man wearing a Western suit. The man in the suit stood beside her, exposing a smile like the ones her colleagues had.

Under the brightly colored oriental flowers, the six stood side-by-side, everyone smiling happily and merrily.

However, seeing this harmonious image, Liu Yan could only feel her body tremble all over.

The man in the suit… The man in the suit had something in his hand. He had something in his hand, and it was clearly her head!

In the photo, Liu Yan’s head wasn’t there.

However, what made Liu Yan feel all the more terrified was that her head was in the clasp of the man in the suit’s hand, unexpectedly still showing a cheerful smile!

‘He wasn’t human!’

‘That’s right, he must be a ghost!’

Liu Yan rigidly stared at the man in the picture as the well-dressed man inside the photo seemed to also be looking straight at her.

No matter which direction she looked at the photo, it always felt like the people inside the picture were stalking her with their eyes.

Liu Yan’s hands trembled as she set the phone down on the side, letting Bai Tianzhe also understand with one look.

Seeing this picture, Bai Tianzhe instead let out a sigh, trying to console her, “You’re already dead inside the picture, but in reality, you’re still fine, proving that he isn’t a ghost. This was just a pure unadulterated joke!”

Bai Tianzhe’s voice fell as Liu Yan shrieked, “Another one! There’s another one!”

Bai Tianzhe quickly tapped the MMS open, but upon laying eyes on the new MMS, his entire body turned stiff.

The new MMS was distressingly the first floor entrance of his house.

The ghost had found them!
